The Idrissa Gueye example that could work again for Everton

A fourth win on the run for Everton at Fulham on Saturday would only boost the feelgood factor currently surrounding Goodison Park.

The same, however, cannot be said of the Cottagers, who along with Huddersfield Town, have already been relegated.

But the latest Royal Blue podcast, hosted as ever by Phil Kirkbride and featuring a front two of Dave Prentice and Adam Jones, wonders whether there are any Fulham players Everton could pick off in the summer.

The moment which proved Marco Silva understands Everton - and players must live up to his desire  

That spawns a discussion about the merits of signing players from teams who have been demoted with Idrissa Gueye - whose future is debate - a prime example of how it can work.

Talk then turns to the issue of Europa League football, and the lads are asked for their thoughts on Marco Silva's declaration that it is vital to the Blues.

Phil, Prenno and Adam go into depth about the tournament, demands on the squad, attitudes to the competition and what it means for signing new players, before the final part of the podcast focuses on the improvements Silva has made at Everton as he closes in on matching last season's points tally with a number of games to spare.
